ICCAC Announces Outdoor Track & Field Athletes of the Year
May 30, 2018

Iowa Central Track & Field swept both conference Outdoor Track & Field Athlete of the Year awards on Wednesday.

Adva Cohen, the winner of the women's award, was a unanimous choice for the honor. Cohen had a strong showing at the NJCAA Outdoor Track & Field National Championships, where she took home three national titles in the Women's 3000 M Steeplechase, Women's 1500 M Run, and the Women's 5000 M Run. Cohen was also the anchor of the Iowa Central 4x800 team that finished just two-hundredths of a second off of capturing another title.

Cohen also enjoyed success all season. At this year's prestigious Drake Relays, Cohen crushed a record that had stood for 14 years in the 3000 M Steeplechase. 

Travis Petersen was voted as the top male athlete in the outdoor season. Petersen claimed the NJCAA individual title in the Men's Hammer Throw, with a mark of 61.07 meters on his fourth attempt. The second-best mark was five meters back.

Petersen steadily improved over the course of the season, bettering his mark each and every performance. Starting with a score of 53.90 meters in the [University of] Arkansas Spring Invitational on March 23rd, Petersen finished the season with his best two performances; a 58.16 at the Region XI Championships, followed by his national title-winning throw in Kansas this May.
